Abstract

Fabrication of noble metal nanoparticles by using green plant extract as reducing agent have been the subject of various investigators due to their enhanced plasmonic properties for various applications. This paper describes the effects of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS) on the nucleation of silver sols formation by using coriander seeds extract and silver nitrate redox reaction. The wavelength maxima (λmax) were blue shifted from 433 nm to 425, 423, and 420 nm, respectively, with 0.0, 0.4, 1.0, and 1.6 mM CTAB. The blue and red shifts were also observed from 433 nm to 421, 421, 418, and 438 with 0.0, 0.4, 1.0, 1.6 and 2.0 mM SDS, respectively. The pre-micellar inhibition, and post-micellar catalytic effects were observed on the formation of silver sols with cationic CTAB surfactant. SDS exhibits inhibitory effect on the nucleation rate for an entire range of concentration. Additionally, antioxidant activity in vitro revealed that the percentage scavenging with 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH•) were depended on the dose of AgNPs.
